One of my favorite things about the new tablet is it has some kinda coating that keeps oils and other things off.

The big favorite is the super low activation force, that, is, nice.

I would really love to know how folks post their art confidently. I was told 'who cares what others think' which- if I didn't, then would I be posting it online?

I don't even get much feedback, I just feel anxious posting anything because- dunno, it's hard to express in a short post.

I've seen so many people using a Blue Yeti mic on streams or youtube videos and they've got it pointed at them.

Despite them having a slip of paper right on the top saying the mic has to FACE you. If it's pointed at the person like other mics?
Their actively ruining their audio quality.

Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices.
If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.

Financially ruin the industry that was built to ruin artists by weaponizing their own work against them.

Cry me a fucking river, then please drown in it. Oh wait- they're billionaires. Well cry me a river and sink one of your many yachts in it.

No one cares.
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action
Advocates fear such settlements will “financially ruin” the AI industry.

New OC, a goblin shark. Don't have a name yet, just kinda made her for fun.

I'd ask for name suggestions- but I really don't want a bunch of gobbo-punned names like Gobborella or whatever :P

I want to play Final Fantasy Tactics again, so badly.
I just gotta keep telling myself there's gonna be MODS to make the game even more interesting.

New art on patreon, added a ko-fi goal if anyone was interested in helping pay for the tablet I wound up needing.

Thanks y'all for your support, reading or via cash. You've been too kind.

It blows my mind that folks don't know that you can game on your PC, on a TV. It's just an HDMI connection & steam has full controller support.
So you can use your PC, like a console, on TV. This is really old news too. You don't need to game at your desk, haven't since the PS3 days.

Got to play a bit of Helldivers 2 yesterday. Missed the game but the risk for the game hard crashing my rig is too much for me to do.

Game still needs performance patches. The devs seem to like fog more than they do a good framerate.

I'm doin' some practice sketches to get comfortable with my tablet/pens.

It's a Cora n' Blip ready for chewsday (innit)!

Got the new tablet, gonna take me a bit to get used to it since I've been on a teeny tablet for a bit now + pens feel entirely different.

Gonna try my best though. 💪🦈

This laptop has really been saving my bacon, can still get work and gaming in.
I had some buyers remorse for a bit but now it's like- thank goodness

Gonna put off the computer repair for a day or two. I really don't have it in me.
I had a tension headache all night.
I was so freaked out that it might have been my art SSD that failed. Which- I have backed up but it was a lot of what-ifs going through my head.

Having some PC problems. so much for getting back to work. Gonna see if I can fix this quick with a windows restore.
